Air Partner gives JetCard the light touch for the winter

Customers of Dubai-based Air Partner's JetCard service will now have additional options when they travel to Europe.

The company is expanding its 25-hour pre-paid JetCard for private jet charter clients with the addition of two new categories of aircraft within its European service area.

The categories – Very Light Jet and Super Midsize – are also included in its new 10-hour Winter JetCard aimed primarily at the ski market.

By including a four-seat Very Light Jet option Air Partner is the first in the industry to introduce a lower entry cost in a block hour charter scheme. The VLJ is ideal for short, 80-minute flights, to business destinations from the UK such as Dublin, Dusseldorf and Geneva.

The Super Midsize eight-seat category is targeted at clients who want a generous cabin in an aircraft that can perform longer trips than a Midsize jet. The Super Midsize sector embraces current popular business jets such as Bombardier’s Challenger 300 and Cessna’s Citation X and Sovereign.

The two new categories launch this week and join Air Partner’s existing Light, Midsize, Large and Global cabin offerings, increasing the choice of aircraft types from four to six.
